I just got an INC and it was 2.2 out of the box. I have a ton of questions. I did look around for the answers. If I ask something that has already been answered, I apologize.
1. How do I know if I have an LCD or Amoled Screen
1a. Do I need to know this for a recovery image (Dont you have to have one?)
2. I have not done anything yet but download titanium-What do I need to do with this?
3. I keep hearing about a nandroid backup? How do I do this?
I am sure I forgot something but I will edit if so. I have been trying to figure this out but I am finding a lot of conflicting answers when it comes to doing things with the INC. I just want to make sure I have everything in order to flash a vanilla rom.
Thanks
I cant post any links cuz im a noob on this site but I used the Root guide and remove bloat guide from jonamerica
just rooted mine a couple of days ago! I have not added a custom rom yet but my Hydra kernel is sick and I removed all my bloat with Titanium. Have fun! I sure am loving the results.

I can't post links either, but here is some information to help you get started. There are guides to rooting in these forums and on other sites; google "root incredible slcd".
1. Check the SKU on the box your Incredible came in. If it ends in W3 you've got an SLCD screen. Apparently all (or nearly all) of the new units (that is, those sold in the last few months) are SLCD.
1a. Yes, it makes a difference. Carefully read the instructions before you root to make sure you've got a recovery image for an SLCD screen.
2. Titanium won't work until you're rooted.
3. After you're rooted you'll be able to do a full backup through the recovery console.
I googled it and found this guide. Awesome tool t

My sku ends in 3m? Pretty sure its the sku. Also what does that mean for a recovery image and where do I get one? I have titanium installed but what option do I use to do the nandroid thing.

I am in no way saying this in a mean way so please don't take offense but I think you should do a little more research before you pursue this. Just clicking a different subforum this pops up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744807
use the search feature here, read all you can about rooting, clockwork, berzerkers recovery, and especially unrevoked. know the risks you are taking doing this. know that you WILL void your warranty. i'm not trying to scare you, i just don't think this is something to be rushed into.

It's totally cool. I appreciate the info. I did try searching but maybe not deep enough. I'll check out the info. Thanks

I think I understand the clockwork thing. I read this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725744
I have the drivers installed on my pc and rooted. After reading from the above links, does that mean I should run this file.

I'm asking because I do not want to do anything without making sure...anymore lol
After doing that. I will have clockwork installed, correct? Except I have no clue what version of unrevoked I ran. I am rooted though. I know I am rooted and everything. I did this so I could install a vanilla rom. But I have to say, I am honestly lost. I have rooted other devices but am realizing that I literally know nothing about this stuff. So, sorry about all the questions and I'm trying to learn.
Ok, I realize I am like the dumbest person on this forum but. I have root. I have BAmod Recovery installed. I did the backup from recovery and did a batch recovery in titanium of all system data+apps. Am I good to go as far as backups go? And I have flashed roms before, just not on this phone. Once I have done these two things. Am I ok to flash a rom?
I try and keep it as simple as possible-
1. Root (to open up your phone's system)
2. Backup (just in case u mistake- u have to be rooted to even make a backup. Just rooted is not really much by itself, it just opens the doors so-to-speak)
3. Rom (apply all the different goodies previously unavailabe to you on your non rooted phone- someone else created these for all of us losers to enjoy for free-just make sure the rom you use is specific to your phone and android version)

If the guy has an Incredible, are you saying he needs to use bootstrap? I have that on my Droid X because of Motorola's *lovely* gift to us, but NOT on my Dinc. Just curious...
-Mike
Good point-
the rom manager should work for this on the inc.
I have better luck with the bootloader on the x, as you said since we have the nice kernel on lockdown with the x. Ha

I have not done anything with bootstrap or bootloader. What are those?
Sent from my Htc Incredible using XDA App
The bootstrap will make a backup and also reboot your phone into the bootloader where u can pick the rom to boot into from your sd. There a few programs, at least, that do this -verify your phone compatibilty.

Hello, I downloaded the 4.2 on my phone while I was at work last night. when I came home I moved the 4.2 to the SDCard root, CW3 reboot to recovery, went to the 4.2 and began to flash, heres what I got:
"script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /sdcard/midNIGHT_ROMv4.2_BYOR_EDITION_.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Any suggestions?? Again I did remove my SDcard, insert it into the computer, and moved the 4.2 to the root of the SD card, reinstalled into the phone and boot into recovery with CW3.

You guys are in the wrong section. You should be posting in this thread/ I only saw this cause someone pointed this out to me on twitter.
To answer your question though v4.2 in no just an update. It's a completely rebuilt rom using a different base. I need more information in order to try to help. So please give me the following:
Version of CW recovery?
How you tried to flash?
Are you currently Stock?
and please post those on the correct thread so you get some attention.
I have an older Version of MidNIGHT ROM 3.x... when I went back to continue to use my phone, I have Several FC's and most of my phone was inoperable, I went to CW3 and recovered, now my phone sits at the SAMSUNG logo....

I sent u the tweet because now my phone is bricked and idk what to do.
I am using CW 3.0.5

I am running an older version of midNIGHT ROM v.3.x I'm sorry IDK which exact ROM I have
By the way I did remove the old midnight rom from SD along with the Extras folder
oh and the reason I did not post on that thread is because I am New and have less than 10 posts, I am not allowed to post to a Developers Thread.
I believe version 3.xxx were dk28 based and when you tried to flash 4.2 which is eb13 based it crashed because it had the wrong kernel. So the fix to both would be to odin to stock eb13. After that then just follow his instructions and you should be good to go.

I thought about that when he wrote it was an all new base, I will have to return to stock anyway to un-brick, so I just need to odin to the EB13??? I will try this soon and update my progress, right now I have misplaced my Micro USB, (fail) but I will have to borrow one after I get all my downloads done.
ok, so far I have sucessfully odin'ed to my bone stock 2.1, now I have to do everything else.

I was just going to link you to that thread. I used odin so it was already rooted with CWM3 and have had no problems at all. I've Flashed Syndicate ROM Frozen 1.0.1 , Bonsai4ALL 3.0.1 and Midnight ROM 4.2 with no problems.
Is it safe to run CWM red on mytouch 4 g? i searched the forum but came up empty.
#1) Wrong section
#2) I doubt it, and not sure why you'd want to run it. Does a mod require that version? If not, there's no reason not to run 3.0.2.4.

get your samsung experience completely out of your head. the samsung is an entirely different beast. if you had problems with it on your samsung, its probably due to recovery 3e, and there was plenty of info out there on how to fix that. the samsung world is completely different. modems instead of radios, stupid samsung's RFS instead of ext3/4 or yaffs, touchwiz, odin, heimdall, etc.... its a nightmare for android honestly. i have found my mt4g's and my desire z to be much better devices when it comes to flashing.... and nandroids. wtf is up with samsung and their stupid proprietary crap that would prevent nandroids from backing up the kernel and modem??
I'm not sure how it happened but I lost CWM Touch Recovery. This was included with the install of the Hitman KErnal. Is there any way to get it back without odin?
ok so when I try to go into recovery it it will show clokworkmod 5.8.1.5 but then it will just jump straight and reboot the phone???
You can try flashing it with rom manager but I don't know if it will stick.

So when you go into recovery, it goes into boot without you doing anything?
Couple things.
1. Do NOT use rom manager with the SGSII e4gTouch. The kernel is tied to the recovery and NOT stand alone. You're begging for a brick if you do this using rom manager.
2. If you read the HITMAN thread, you'll see most of the folks are having the same issue. flash gunslinger or stock kernel with older CWM and you'll be back to normal. Prob. need to use ODIN.
3. For the OP, you posted the same issue in that thread where appropriate, was it really needed to do another thread with the same thing?
The new touch recovery seems to be nothing but problems. I flashed it with hitman and didn't like it so I went back to rogue recovery.

still new at this but have you tried the E4gTautoroot and flash the el29 stock kernel+cwm and then use cwm to reflash the Hitman kernel? You can use it as an alternative to flash an older cwm recovery and then update again

1. I didn't know that.
2. I tried to flash using odin but it kept saying something about md5 hash invalid, or something like that. Was not able to flash unless I was doing it wrong.
3. I think posted this thread before I saw other people having the issue in the other thread
do this:
1)go and search for the rogue stock rooted el29 recovery and download the zip
2) unzip it and with the zimage (forget about the other file)
3)do it into a tar file(should be as easy as doing a zip with winrar or winzip)
4) go to odin and use this file in the pda area and start it
this should solve it...worked for me

Mr. Doc I so appreciate you!!! First time posting to thread and Im grateful of your timely response. Let me just tell you exactly whats going on
my phone is in the android system recovery what I am seeing is green android man with a red warning over top of it. it will not let me do anything and I see a message saying "MANUAL MODE" successfully applied multi CSC. It won't connect to ODIN OR Kies Im so scared that I have ruined my phone crying very hard
Odin doesn't work unless you're in download mode.
What happens when you reboot? If it takes you to recovery, boot into download mode (power+vol down+home) and flash a stock image.

Also this happened after I flashed the pure stock then I flashed the recovery and the phone automatically went to what I have explained in prior post
When the phone is recovery it doesn't let me do anything factory/reset or anything and when i put in download mode it doesn't connect to ODIN
What rom were you previously using? And you do have a T999L right? You won't be able odin flash any stock firmware because there isn't any.
Try again to get into download mode. If you can boot recovery you should be able to get there too I'd imagine.
Hold volume down and home while powering up.
If you can do this, odin flash either cwm from aerowinders sig, or twrp from mine. Then reflash whichever rom you were running before trying the pure stock rom.

Hello I'm a she lol but what originally happened was I rooted phone through Odin. Then when I looked in Twrp and cwm it kept saying i had no recovery image. I went through thread on here and saw someone with same issue and follow Mr. Doc's instructions pertaining to the pure stock and recovery and this is where i landed. Im in download mode so yes i see my phone is not ruined lol I just need the file Mr. Doc is telling me about to reflash because im now connected to odin. I had to use another computer. I greatly appreciate all the time taken to help me get my phone back to working order. Since I am new I need to find the place where I can give a lot of Kudos to mr doc and his team now all i need is where to i go for mr doc file
In my signature, click Recoveries. Then in the twrp folder download version 2.5.0.0. Get the one that's a .tar.
Then once connected to odin, click the PDA button and select the tar file you just downloaded. Then click start.
Once done it should auto reboot. Now reboot into recovery and try doing a factory reset there.
If you still can't boot after that, flash the other, deodexed rom from my T999L thread.
I've got to go for a bit but will try to jump back on soon to see how you're doing.
Sorry bout the he/she thing!

Mr. Doc what I was originally trying to accomplish was creating a recovery for the phone. I think my phone is only rooted and I have no recovery or so i think for the phone. Can you help me understand lol. I know cwm is not available yet at least it wasn't couple days ago.

Mr. Doc when I go into goo.im it tells me in order to flash roms i need an open recovery scrip compatible recovery then it says it can find one for me thats where im lost and getting confused about whether i have a recovery on the phone. but if im right that means i can't right?
Neither CWM or TWRP have added support yet, though it should be as simple as asking. Ill try to contract them in a bit.
You can manually install any of the latest recoveries for the T999 though. They have been confirmed working by several people.
Are you familiar with Odin? I suggest going to the Recoveries link in my sig and get TWRP version 2.5.0.0. The one you want has the .tar extension.
Then flash that in Odin.
If you aren't comfortable with Odin I can tell you another way using terminal emulator.
Your phone does currently have a recovery, but unless you've installed a custom one its still stock.
Also, you can flash any of the Roms posted for the T999. If the rom doesn't include a kernel, and it touchwiz based, you can flash one of the kernels in my T999L thread in development section. I'd try the MD5 kernel first so its matched with the Touchwiz rom you choose. (If you flash CM or AOSP based roms, do not use the kernels I just mentioned).
Hope that helps!

Choose Device option 62 and then Flash custom recovery. It will automate the ODIN install if you are not familiar.

I am familiar with Odin i used that to get me up and running again using the sig you just mentioned. If I'm understanding you correctly you're saying I can flash a t999 rom to my t999L but use a different kernel? Also am I flashing the rom using Odin and if so do I use the same method to flash kernel? I think Im getting a clear understanding because I thought I could only root thorugh odin but install roms through cwm and twrp lol and basically I can use Odin to do it all right? I want to make sure I don't have to bother you all the time lol I should have kept my darn att s3!! thanks again Mr. Doc you truly rock!!!!
